What external tools do you use for Ignition development, and why?

This is better than I could have presented it! Lol, I love it!

I didn't see you mention it, however if you open a VS Code Workspace, you can have VS Code automatically trigger the gateway project scan for you whenever you save project scripts. If you have a docker-compose.yaml file for your project, It should attempt to auto-generate the following settings structure in your workspace settings, however if it cant auto-detect it from a docker-compose.yaml you can just add it in yourself.

	"settings": {
        "ignitionFlint.ignitionGateways": [
          {
            "label": "Frontend",
            "address": "https://frontend.localtest.me", 
            "projectPaths": [ #The relative filesystem path to your ignition projects root directory.
              "temp/projects"
            ],
            "updateDesignerOnSave": true,
            "forceUpdateDesigner": true,
            "supportsProjectScanEndpoint": true
          }
        ]
	}
